Earlier this week, Donald Trump treated the nation to a nearly 90-minute post-election meltdown that included everything from the naming and shaming of Republican losers who didn’t “embrace” him, to an alleged top-secret “solution” to end the abortion-rights debate, to a brawl with a reporter who he called a “rude, terrible person” and an “enemy of the people,” to a threat to go after Democrats if they attempt to hold him accountable for anything. So it’s possible you might have missed the moment in which Trump was asked about the fate of Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke—who is facing multiple probes by his department’s inspector general, at least one of which has been referred to the Justice Department—to which the president responded: “We will take a look at that, and we’ll probably have an idea on that in about a week.” But it would appear Zinke heard it loud and clear!

Politico reports that Zinke, seemingly having read the writing on the wall, “has been exploring potential roles with Fox News, the energy industry, or other businesses amid growing signs that he will leave President Donald Trump’s Cabinet as he faces investigations into his ethics, according to people knowledgeable about the discussions.” An exit to Fox would not be without precedent: Former top White House aide Hope Hicks recently landed a job at the network, as did Sebastian Gorka before her. Rather than wait to be fired in some characteristically humiliating fashion, however, Zinke has apparently already “made it known” to people close to him that he plans to resign from his position by the end of the year. Currently, the secretary is facing investigations on multiple fronts, from his decision to block an American-Indian tribe from opening a casino in Connecticut, to the $25,000 in taxpayer funds he dropped on a couple’s trip to Turkey and Greece, to whether or not Halliburton bribed him with a micro-brewery, which he’s called “fake news.”

While Interior spokespeople did not respond to requests for comment from Politico, the official Twitter account of the Interior’s press office replied to a thread discussing the possibility of Zinke joining Fox by writing, “It’s laughably false and belongs in The Onion.” That’s probably true: the odds that he scores a seat on the board of Whitefish Energy—the company run by Zinke’s friend and neighbor, which just so happened to land a $300 million government contract to fix Puerto Rico’s power grid—are much higher. A spokesperson for Fox said in a statement: “No one at FOX News has spoken to Zinke about a contributor role.”
